Context

Client: An established insurance surveyor company specializing in property and casualty assessments.

Challenge: The insurance surveyor company faced significant inefficiencies in managing and processing survey requests. Their traditional system involved manual data entry, fragmented communication channels, and slow processing times, leading to delays and errors in survey reports. The company needed a modern solution to streamline and automate their operations to improve productivity, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.

Solution

Overview: The software company was tasked with developing a comprehensive solution consisting of a web portal and a mobile app to automate and optimize the insurance surveyor company's operations. The solution aimed to integrate seamlessly with existing workflows while providing a user-friendly interface for both surveyors and clients.

Web Portal:

• Dashboard and Request Management: The web portal featured a centralized dashboard where survey requests could be submitted, tracked, and managed. The portal allowed insurance companies to create and assign survey requests, view status updates, and access historical data.
• Automated Workflow: The portal automated key aspects of the survey process, including scheduling, notifications, and document management. Automated alerts notified surveyors of new assignments, upcoming deadlines, and required follow-ups.
• Reporting and Analytics: Built-in reporting tools provided real-time insights into survey performance, including metrics on turnaround times, completion rates, and surveyor productivity. This helped the company identify bottlenecks and optimize operations.

Mobile App:

• Survey Management: The mobile app enabled surveyors to receive and manage survey assignments directly from their smartphones. They could view details of each assignment, including property information and client instructions.
• On-Site Data Collection: Surveyors could use the app to capture data on-site, including photographs, notes, and measurements. The app supported offline functionality, allowing surveyors to work even in areas with limited connectivity.
• Real-Time Updates: The app provided real-time updates to the web portal, ensuring that the central system reflected the latest information from field surveys. This facilitated faster processing and more accurate reporting.
